And, as I said, I believe this type of message is best delivered by the owner of the site, or their reps who have such authority. It doesn't affect me personally. That's really all I have to say on the matter.

Please do not post AI-generated text, whether OPs or replies, without labeling them AI-generated and naming the AI used. [View all] highplainsdem Yesterday OP

Absolutely! pat_k Yesterday #1

I'm glad you label it, but why bother posting what any chatbot says when it might give a different answer highplainsdem Yesterday #7

Very true. AI generated content looks and sounds authoritative, even when it's not mdbl Yesterday #10

I always question AI - ask for quotes, womanofthehills Yesterday #14

That will NOT prevent it from lying. Ms. Toad Yesterday #35

This is an AI Video... leftstreet Yesterday #2

It's still slop. It's still dumb. Our most effective weapons against Trump and his regime are real news, highplainsdem Yesterday #3

I thought the subject was labeling it leftstreet Yesterday #5

I'm glad you agree with the labeling. I thought you posted that video as something that you felt highplainsdem Yesterday #8

bwahahaha jmbar2 Yesterday #4

No way ornotna Yesterday #62

LOL. Sometimes we need to laugh at one form Ilsa 9 hrs ago #71

With some small effort one can usually find the source of this plagiarized material. hunter Yesterday #6

Ah, Liechtenstein! kurtyboy Yesterday #18

I agree, but...... SergeStorms Yesterday #9

They don't all add disclaimers, though, here on DU or on other websites - and most of the time they highplainsdem Yesterday #12

I agree SergeStorms Yesterday #34

Thanks! highplainsdem Yesterday #53

Thank you !!!! This should be a DU rule. Trueblue1968 Yesterday #11

Yes! SheltieLover Yesterday #21

If people are posting AI generated text here withour saying it's AI, I agree that it should be labeled as such. ShazzieB Yesterday #13

The AI overview is there to keep you in the google sandbox. hunter Yesterday #47

Yes, and No ThreeNoSeep Yesterday #15

Yes, they are committing fraud, i.e. plagurisim. paleotn Yesterday #25

Academic researchers use other people's work all the time. (#bibliography) ThreeNoSeep Yesterday #59

They cite other people's work. Other PEOPLE. Cite LLMs? paleotn Yesterday #60

Theft? Nope. ThreeNoSeep Yesterday #61

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. highplainsdem Yesterday #28

Where are your citations for the above? jmbar2 Yesterday #39

Citations for what's in the excerpt boxes? Those are quotes from the message I was replying to. highplainsdem Yesterday #43

They're quotes, so they need ____________________ jmbar2 Yesterday #45

Not when it's a quote from someone I'm replying to in an excerpt box in a reply following their message. highplainsdem Yesterday #49

Agree 100%. Thank you! CaptainTruth Yesterday #16

Is this a new rule or guideline? Joinfortmill Yesterday #17

If not, should be. paleotn Yesterday #22

I have no issue with this if it is a rule by the site owner Joinfortmill Yesterday #23

They're wishing, not presenting. paleotn Yesterday #26

You might want to read my post again. Joinfortmill Yesterday #27

Do they have the ability to make policy? No. Then it's just wishing. paleotn Yesterday #29

Read it. Joinfortmill Yesterday #32

It's a request, starting with the word "please" - no more a rule or guideline than the many requests highplainsdem Yesterday #33

Chill. Why the freaking anger? paleotn Yesterday #36

I'm not angry. Joinfortmill Yesterday #44

Then why is this such an issue for you? Seriously? paleotn Yesterday #56

It is the way it was presented. Joinfortmill Yesterday #57

It's a request, made because we have had chatbot responses posted here that weren't identified as highplainsdem Yesterday #31

Perfectly good reasons why we should NEVER use AI for this forum. paleotn Yesterday #19

Absolutely agreed! SheltieLover Yesterday #20

Is this like blaming someone for holding a counterfeit banknote? Drum Yesterday #24

I simply put many of these AI enthusiasts on my ignore list. hunter Yesterday #40

Agreed! Drum Yesterday #42

It's possible I decry this new industry more than highplainsdem does. hunter Yesterday #55

Amen. Wednesdays Yesterday #30

I'm here for the humans. carpetbagger Yesterday #37

LOL! I hope we all are. Heaven help this board if very much of it turns into a place to trade highplainsdem Yesterday #38

Do we need to know the political affiliation of the chatbot? MichMan Yesterday #41

And their pronouns jmbar2 Yesterday #46

This isn't in the TOS. It's a request made for the reasons explained in the OP. And identifying the chatbot helps highplainsdem Yesterday #50

I come to DU to find out what other people think. AI doesn't think. It's "artificial!" nt LAS14 Yesterday #48

Exactly. There are already too many responses from bots in a lot of other online forums. highplainsdem Yesterday #58

I ask that an AI tag be added to the subject line so those of us who find AI revolting can easily Trash it a SheltieLover Yesterday #51

I think a trigger warning might be more appropriate jmbar2 Yesterday #52

It's not a trigger for me, but AI in subject makes it easier to trash in settings. SheltieLover Yesterday #54

I'm starting to think you don't care about any other issue. FascismIsDeath Yesterday #63

Really? I've posted about lots of other issues, here and on other platforms. highplainsdem 23 hrs ago #64

"AI slop" has became the equivalent of using "woke" as a pejorative. FascismIsDeath 22 hrs ago #65

You don't seem to understand that people choosing to use and promote a technology they know is unethical and highplainsdem 20 hrs ago #66
